    Christmas caption competition

    Can you come up with a winning caption for this picture. There's a £20 prize on offer for the best entry.


    (If you are wondering where the picture is from, it features some of the players at the Helperby pantomime in North Yorkshire (by the Helperby and District Dramatic Society, HADDS).  Among a cast of 55 local people of all ages were:- The King:  Richard Spilman, prominent local farmer and founder of Spilman’s Strawberries, also asparagus etc etc The Evil Queen; Sally Spilman, wife of above and partner in the business. Flash Igor (the Queen’s Henchman) ;  Peter Sowray, also well known local farmer, county councillor and Leader of North Yorkshire County Council. The script required the Queen to plot her evil machinations together with her magic mirror and her henchman, while the henpecked King showed his tolerant indifference by sitting on the throne reading his copy of Farmer’s Weekly. Many thanks for the picture - it made me smile! Big Smile)

    Too close to reality for me!  I'd better sit this one out anyway and give everyone else a chance.

    It's all right for you two to smile but as Lord Mandelson, I've got to decide whether the subsidy goes to Jaguar, Landrover or Farmers Weekly.

    Alastair Campbell to the King, "Your majesty at the next state opening of parliament, instead of writing a new speech I wonder if you could just read out the leader from this month's Farmers Weekly. It deals nicely with the security of the nations food supplies."

    the emperor is trying to learn about farming, the only industry left in his kingdom after a decade of building ivory towers.

    He is broke after madoff got his money, and those dodgy guys sold him that new suit of clothes,which didnt exist.

    I bought Farmers’ Weekly for you, My Prince, as there’s a fascinating article in it called “Organic Farming for Profit.”
